I was going to ask about this the other day -- I was thinking about it... how many games support 2.35 aspect ratio without black bars or stretching? It can't be too many, can it?
Those screens were awesome though.

More than you would think. It's a good fit for third person games. The Dead Space trilogy supports it flawlessly due to the way they treat hud elements and it's a neat experience because of how movie-esque the games are.

I've done a bit of digging and have ascertained that the only JP-specific retail apps that are actually being used are:
- Dead Island: Riptide (~$60)
- FEAR 2 (~$51)
- Homefront (~$48)
- Metro: Last Light (~$65; digital version)
- Risen 2 (~$59)
Total: ~$283 (excluding shipping on four).

I refuse to play the bioshock infinite dlc for reasons of them continuing to milk the sucess of the first game. I was done with rapture after bio2, which isn't to say I didn't appreciate that moment in infinite, it's just that they really could do so many more things with what they set up with columbia. I want more fitzroy and lutece
K, question, what is the "mouse smoothing" option in a lot of games supposed to do? Because in almost all cases, I feel like it actually makes my mouse motion feel less natural and more jerky.
In general, it seems like turning down mouse sensitivity and disabling mouse smoothing works best for me. (Using a Logitech G9X)
Just a PC-related thing that's been nagging at the back of my mind for a while.

You're the reason why the devil made fullscreen DVDs, aren't you?
Super Sanctum TD is $0.59 on Amazon right now. Any idea if it's any good?
Mouse smoothing and mouse acceleration both make distance moved a factor of how fast you move your mouse, not just how far you move it. Whereas acceleration is faster movement = more distance, smoothing makes it so faster movement = less distance.
It's the same price on Steam, which doesn't answer your question.
It's a little crash-prone at the moment, but overall, it's a solid TD game. I actually enjoyed it more than the regular Sanctum games because the tedious build phase is streamlined.
Most of the maps are identical in structure to ones from the FPS version of Sanctum. Since you're playing from an overhead view instead of being on the actual playfield, they've changed some of the game mechanics, like giving you castable spells to replace the FPS part. The game moves at a much faster pace than FPS Sanctum since you can quickly lay out your defenses and you can fast forward (like in Defense Grid).
It's the same price on steam for day now as it's part of Sanctum game.
As for the game, seems more like your average TD game...super lite version.
You could play it for ten minutes and have your monies worth at that price. For me though most tower defense games are largely the same mechanically just with different coats of paint. The rare exception to this is anomaly 2 and orcs must die 2; both dare to be different.
It doesn't, sadly, but I appreciate it anyway. That means I can pick it up with card money.
Thanks for the impressions! Much appreciated. : )
I love this quote from the Kingdom Come: Deliverance blog
Its the first person open-world RPG on Kickstarter right now.

I agree great quote
While i agree and am willing to post burn and Jack Nicholson yes gifs they probably should deliver first on their game before making statements like this.
Well, that's a pretty convincing way to ask me for my money. I like it!
If anyone wants to pad their Steam game count, you can register a user account at http://www.dlh.net/en/register and they'll send you a Steam code for Enclave.

Same, consistently. It's a tragedy.
Opposite for me thankfully. Only getting around 2.5MBps on Origin vs 6MBps on Steam.
Really? That's the BEST thing about Australia? At least you've got your priorities straight.

Just an FYI and I know I'm crazy late on this, but Brothers is amazing and all of you should go out and play it now because I said so.
Oh, I got this working earlier.
Remember Me
Turns out the FOV is set by default to -vert and not +hori hence why it would crop the image instead of scaling it.
Just a simple .ini fix in ExampleEngine.ini:-
Change AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainXFOV to AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV
This works for a few other UE3 games as well like Enslaved.

Haven't played around with it fully but there are still a few issues with the HUD and the menus are still screwed up but apparently WideScreen Fixer sorts those out.
WSGF is starting to have a lot more info on 21:9 these days.

Ah, thanks for reminding me about the C&C Ultimate Collection key that I bought from Amazon a million months ago but still haven't redeemed on Origin.

I just tried it, it didn't work. Thank you anyway!
Bah, I can't add Loadout's Absolute Badass Pack to my library because the DLC is set to be ignored. I'm guessing Edge of Reality will ask Valve to bin the closed beta keys once the game has been released so I'll wait until then before submitting a ticket. Rekoil activated just fine, though (I was missing the pre-purchase DLC, whatever it is).
Was there even gameplay for that first 11?
I am kinda confused too
lol
uhh there's like samples of gameplay more than actual real stuff. like, you walk from cutscene to cutscene, maybe fight one or two dudes with a pre-built party or maybe just walk around an area talking to people, shit like that
I'm actually surprised they threw in a full fledged dungeon all of the sudden with secrets and optional areas and it's actually kinda difficult.
I think the appeal to Metro is the atmosphere. I couldn't get into it either, but I intend to try again someday with Russian audio + subtitles and Ranger Mode.
It also has cards so it's almost like free
Finally beat Metal Gear Rising. Fun game but maybe I was expecting a little more because of Bayonetta was so awesome. Started straight on hard difficulty, first stages were pretty frustrating, only because I didn't fully understand the parry mechanics. After learning to parry in chapter 3 the rest of the game was a breeze. Final boss was a bit of a letdown, expected more. All in all still a nice game and I plan to beat it on revengeance eventually!

How does dlc work with gamesharing? My friend owns all the skyrim add-on currently but seemingly only Dawnguard is registering in my game.
